Delores Winans
All gospel music listeners or rather those who appreciate rich melodious music need to celebrate the greatly talented gospel artiste, wife to David Winans and mother of 10 gospel music stars that Delores Winans is.
Mom Winans as she is popularly known, is reported to have met with her husband at a Christmas choir concert in which they were both participating. She has since become one of the most celebrated and respected music family mothers. A mother to multi-award winning gospel artistes, Mom Winans has so far released three albums; For The Rest of My Life with husband David Winans Sr. also known as Pop Winans.
Her two highly acclaimed solo albums feature a few collaborations with the husband; It's Been An Affair To Remember was nominated for a Grammy in 2000 and Hymns From The Heart her most recent album is "designed to take you back and ensure that the traditional gospel music is not forgotten, or lost, in the shuffle of today's contemporary sounds".
Angelina Jolie
She once collected knives, swords, lizards and snakes but today Angelina Jolie can't be so far removed from her former gothic lifestyle. Today Ms. Jollie is a mother of four and still counting.
A UNHCR good will ambassador Angelina Jollie has devoted most of her free time to advocating for the plight of children and mothers in war torn and poverty stricken countries around the world especially Africa and Asia. Ms. Jolie has three adopted children; two boys from Cambodia and Zahara from Ethiopia. She has one biological daughter Shilloh Nouval Jollie Pitt with boyfriend Brad Pitt.
Victoria Adam Beckham
This former spice girl has visibly settled in the role of wife, mother and style star. Victoria Beckham also known as Posh seems to always be on a plane from one continent to another; either house hunting in California (US), throwing her husband a birthday bash in the London (UK) or taking her sons to watch husband David Beckham play in Madrid (Spain). Victoria who is famed for regaining her size zero in at least three weeks after giving birth is mother to Brooklyn Joseph Beckham (7), Romeo James Beckham (5) and Cruz David Beckham (2).
Madonna
When she wrote a children's book, The English Roses critics brushed it off as another one of her publicity stunts. And that was not all the critics had to say on her 'publicity stunt antics'. In October 2006 when Madonna (together with husband Guy Ritchie) filed adoption papers for Malawian 'orphan' David Banda, the press and most of the general public had only unkind statements for her as per the circumstances in which baby Banda was adopted.
Madonna however ignored the criticism and took in David Banda as her third child. On the Oprah Winfrey show, the now mother of three said her two other children Lourdes (Maria Ciccone Leon) and Rocco John Ritchie were overjoyed to have a baby brother. She has been photographed carrying a healthy looking baby Banda and the other two in tow.
Tina Knowles
Beyoncé Knowles's mother Tina Knowles can be said to have been and still is the major force in Beyonce's career advancement. Tina Knowles, originally, a seamstress and hair dresser was the sole designer of Destiny Child's costumes and red carpet outfits and has continued to design Beyonce's red carpet gowns.
Ms Knowles designs were hailed by her daughters fans, fashion designers and critics so much so that the two were 'compelled' to open their own fashion house.
House of Dereon is the fashion house with Tina Knowles designed clothes. During the launch of House of Dereon, Tina mentioned that the fashion house represents a generation of three women; her mother, her self and her daughter.
